Applicatio filed May 24,

To all whom it may concer-n:

Be it known that I, HENRY L. GULLrNn, of the city of Montreal, Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, a subject of the King of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Mountings for Advertisements, Calendars, and Pictures; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates particularly to the mounting of advertisements, calendars or pictures on a. formed backing to present the picture on a convex base, and it has for its object to simplify the manufacture of a.rti cles of this nature and present a more fin-v ished appearance and the effect of a framed picture.

The invention consists of a one-piece member composed of rigid material preferably steel bent and rolled or otherwise formed to present a base with bent back flange and lthe base embossed to rise in slight convexity through the frame presented by the flange, the conveXity merging in a concave portion connecting the same to the outer edge of the flange. The picture and the transparent cover for the picture are gripped between the convex base and the inner edge of the flange.

For full comprehension, however, ofmy invention reference must be had to the accompanying drawings in which similar reference characters indicate the same parts and wherein:

Figure l is a plan view of a mounted picture containing my invention.

Fiure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2 Figure l Figure 3 is an enlarged detail sectional View on the same line as Figure 2 and illustrating particularly the particular form of the flanged edge of the mounting.

Figure 4 illustrates the method of form-A ing the convexity in the base; and

Figure 5 is a diagrammatic view of the base without the convexity.

The base of my improved picture mounting is, as before mentioned, a one piece member. The blank, illustrated in Figure lis a flat member with bent back parallel marginal flange f. When finished with the picture, orv other advertising matter mounted thereon it consists of a convex middle portion b the marginal portion of which turns comparatively sharply downwardly and pre- 1922. s'eriai No. 563ML sents a shoulder c and then curves gently as at d and'turns upwardly ending' in an anf gular form e finished in a flange f, the latter being disposed at an angle to the convex portion and consequently'enabling its inner edge to act as a jaw which in conjunction The effect produced bythis form is a convex .cnn-Triana fue backing for a picture and a surrounding angular frame member presented by the flange f. The picture, indicated at "g and a celluloid cover 0r glass indicated at 7L is slipped between the edge of flange f and the shoulder c and their edges are received in the enclosure presented by the'portions (13,@ and fof the body. After the picture and its'glass have been smoothly drawn over the back in this manner the final pressure is applied at c in the direction" of the fiange f and the picture and its fiexibleglazed'cover, the celluloid it, are thus gripped firmly in their stretched position over the back Z) and this final pressure simultaneously develops the convex form of the back.

This particular formation presents a basel with bent back flange' and the base embossed to rise in slight conveXity through the frame presentedby the f1ange,'the con- Verity merging' in a concaved portion presented by the part d, connecting the same to the outer edge ofthe flange.

What I claim is as follows:

1. A picture mounting consisting of a one-piece member composed of a rigid material presenting a bent back marginal iange and a middle portion embossed to rise in slight convexity through the marginal flange, a concaved portion connecting the convex portion to the outer edge of the` flangean'd thev space between the juncture of the convex and concaved portions and the inner edge of the fiange being constricted and the free edge ofthe flange being disposed at an angle tothe said convex portion whereby the inner edge of the flange acts as a jaw in conjunction with the convex portion to grip the picture.

2. A picture mounting consisting of a one piece member composed vof resilient metflange beingconstricted to grip the picture 10 or other article to be displayed.

n testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of tvvo Witnesses. i Y
